Well, you own the BSD install, so: are you going to offer a "binary compatability" menu option and hack /etc/sysconfig and /etc/rc so as to make the binaries "just run" if the option is chosen? Then they won't need doc, except on the install, and they will have to make that up for themselves on a per application basis inany case until the full IBCS2 environment is supported (if it ever is).
